Fox is getting a teen spy show from the former producer of Bones Karyn Usher.
Variety reports that the network has given a pilot order for an untitled spy drama that is centered around an orphaned 17-year-old daughter of a CIA operative who is recruited by the CIA to become an operative herself. 20th Century Television will produce with Shawn Levy and Mary Adelstein's 21 Laps/Adelstein Productions.
Usher will write the pilot and exec produce with Adelstein, Levy and Becky Clements. The show is the second female-lead spy drama that has been given a pilot at Fox this season. The show joins Greg Berlanti's Guilty, Kevin Williamson's untitled serial killer drama and Friedman's spy piece as dramas given a pilot. Usher also has credits for Prison Break and The Playboy Club.
